i made a store and had many listings for the popular pc games sellling the leveling and guide books. i buy from other people at $15-$20 and i sell for $13. i had everything set on outlook so once the buyer uses buy it now and pays, my outlooks e-mails them out the product automatically. so everything was digital, all profit, and no need to go to post office |

he probably goes to nyu. his parents probably can't shell out 35k a year or whatever it is + his apt and living expenses. or maybe he wants to pay for it himself.

if you sell a $13 guide, that $13 is yours. everything is digital. what they are purchasing is a guide for a game on either pdf or microsoft word. when other people drop prices down to $12, you move to $11 and keep making profit.
so lets say you sell 5 wow guides in one day, (normally i have a 50 quanity bin). so just from wow guides alone you made $65. that along with all the other items you have= fast cash with no effort. think creative like i did. it will cash out later. |

You can come from a family that's worth tens of millions and makes seven figures a year and still go to college for free if your test scores are high enough and/or you are good enough at sports.

Yea thats called a scholar ship not financial aid. FA is to help people who cant afford school since the family doesnt make enough money or the single individual doesnt make the cash.

this is not a book by an author lol. its for video games and people don't care. just search on ebay and look for yourself. but nowdays its really hard to relist as you always need to change your wording on your auction. windows xp is a big thing. video games is not. so ebay doesn't really have much control over that. although you can get away with a maybe 1-2 copies but ebay will shut that auction down within 5 hours of you posting it. another hot item back in the day was ipod video conversions. sounds silly but they went for $5 each lol. some ballers below: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP...d=200186230037 http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP...d=280184807602 |

Ok so assuming you sold guide books for $15 and made 100k.. At the very least you would have had to sold 7k of them to cover paypal and ebay fees. And if you were abel to easily do this why are you not doing it now? Proof of ebay account with 7k items sold or at least over 5k items sold or ban!!!. |

i am not doing this anymore b/c ebay got very strict over the past years expecially with me. i have made enough to last me awhile plus i got a part time job at a cafe after school. sorry but i don't want to share my ebay account. like i told dasblitz you can think what you want. if you decide to pursue this as a side job, most important thing is the wording of your auction. ebay will look for anything to get the auction off and don't forget the disclaimer. mucho mucho importante. |

why do you care so much about my financial aid? i have no clue how your education system works in the UK with funds, etc. like many others said if i qualify who gives.
i just asked a simple question and here we go again back and forth arguing. i do not drive to manhattan. why would i? i take a 10 min drive, park car and go on bus, either that or i can walk from my place 3 minutes and hop on a ferry and cross over. like i said im paying half my rent, car parent's got and all i have to pay is utilities which i can cover. hey and if you can get my info go straight ahead lol. i don't need to justify myself to you for gratification. and im tired of reading your jealousy issues. why do you care how im paying for what i am and have? if its tough for you ok but why regards to me? |

Also you really just proved how pompous you are. First I am jealous? Where does jealousy even play a factor? Because I have asked you some questions and disagreed with you? Also you state I have problems or its tough for me. WTF? Again just because I question you and dont live in some fantasy land therefore I must be jealous and therefore I must be having money issues etc. Also, you still fail to state how you are paying for that. Let me guess dont want to give out info? If you dont want people questioning you then why make topics about your life? Wait sorry I forgot I'm jealous and from England. Yea, Anyone want to come visit me? Might need a passport.

I thought FAFSA works by asking you questions like the salary of your parents etc. and that's how they judge between giving you grand aid and loan aid. Difference is loans you have to pay back with interest. Grants are the free money part. And I think they only give the grant parts of the aid to the really needy. So unless he lied about how much his parents made, he's probably got loans he's gotta pay back the minute he gets out of college. I lucked out in getting a scholarship but I know friends that will be 150k+ in debt to loans when they get out of our 6-year program and the interest on that is going to suck. Quote:
I actually know what he's talking about being as how I used to powersell on ebay. Basically the people that wrote the guide weren't very smart and didn't copyright them for sole sale and distribution so people on ebay took the guides and started selling them. Essentially you obtain 1 guide from someone else, whether you pay for it or not, put them up on ebay for say $5 a guide via e-transfer, sell a few copies and make profit (whatever you end up with minus auction fees and paypal fees). Granted you'd have to sell a fairly substantial amount of guides, probably more than humanly possible to use that as your sole source of income, but if you set things up to be fully electronic, you can make probably the same as someone working part time at minimum wage. You'd be surprised how many people play World of Warcraft (WoW). I used to be one of them lol. |

I skipped the word electronic in your post haha, so I just read that you bought the books for $15 and sold them for $13 and I just scratched my head puzzled.

and your questions are not just questions. they more like annoying childish fuckish questions like a bitch wanting a dick. its whatever i say and you say yea, prove it. get the fuck out of here. prove shit to you my ass. didn't i tell you how im paying for everything. parent's pay half rent i pay other, i have a local job near school and i still have remainding funds from ebay. and if you qualify for alot of things and don't take it who am i to judge. thats your own fucking problem. yea im right. i qualify for financial aid, i use it, why do fuck do you care? did you not make it on the fucking list or something asshole? i take your spot? stop being such a bitch and just answer the question to my post being a general question. no need for you to ask me personal questions about my life and judge me based on my actions taking financial aid or not just because i drive a 335i. I bet I qualify for a lot of things does it mean I will take it? No, so stop saying just cus you qualify, why not use it. |
